private Founding of Equestria (RP thread)

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Aye, but first... There's something I need to do." Vinyl turned to her troops. She called for one of her couriers who knew teleportation. A young corporal ran up and saluted her. "I need you to find Aelicine and bring her back here. Tell her to bring anything she might need to set up here."

"Yes, ma'am."

The corporal teleported back to the unicorn empire and found Aelicine.

"Ma'am, the empress needs you in the pegasus kingdom, along with anything you might need to set up a place of worship over there."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Aelicine had been polishing a dagger, when a pony teleported into her own private quarters. She jumped back letting out a startled yelp, then looked cross. She realized the pony had been sent by Vinyl, and took it in stride. She sheathed the letting daggar, packed her bags, then nodded to the corporal, "Alright then, take me to her."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Velnir leaned against the tree and sighed sadly. The tree seemed to shiver against his weight, and he closed his eyes, "Giving Tree, tonight there is a hole in me. I maimed and poisoned again. I feel emptied. Irrational. I lack motivation to continue." He felt a searing pain around his cutie mark and ground with pain. A green mare, with hair seemingly of leaves, and a mask. Her eyes glinted with a smile as she gazed down upon him. "Velnir, Velnir, Velnir. It has been a while." The voice was clear and lighthearted. "You love her, don't you? I can't think of a better mare for you; she makes an honest living, she's strong, and the many trees I speak with enjoy listening to her sing while she works."

 

Velnir stairs at her, "I love her, but-"

 

"No buts. You are like a son to me, your love for her is stronger than your self loathing. Stop marring your soul, you need your heart. There may be a time when your body is cut up, and then it will be important for you to keep your mind and spirit." She hugged him close and slid her mask up.

 

"But, Maple, what if-"

 

"Be at peace, young disciple. I willingly absolve you, your punishment being your soul-snare. I freely give it back. Now I must go, Seline has spoken to me of something... Disturbing." She placed a hoof on his cutie mark, and he squirmed in pain. When he awoke, his sickle was gone, and in it's place was a short, wooden dagger. It was shorter then his normal one, with a maple leaf hilt guard. His hip felt raw, and he was tired. He felt a little different, but he staggered off towards home, picking up his things. He entered the building, rubbing his face, and felt such a pang of emotions as he saw his marefriend he nearly cried.

 

(Long story short, I changed his cutie mark into a maple leaf. Feel free to notice)

 

She noticed her coltfriend and nearly yelped with joy that he wasn't gone long and that he was ok. But then she noticed his new cutie mark and was confused.

"Wait... Velnir..? How... How do you have a different cutie mark?"

 

"Aye, but first... There's something I need to do." Vinyl turned to her troops. She called for one of her couriers who knew teleportation. A young corporal ran up and saluted her. "I need you to find Aelicine and bring her back here. Tell her to bring anything she might need to set up here."

"Yes, ma'am."

The corporal teleported back to the unicorn empire and found Aelicine.

"Ma'am, the empress needs you in the pegasus kingdom, along with anything you might need to set up a place of worship over there."

 

"Who is Aelicine, Vinyl? And why do you need her here?"

[The Razor Wing 879]

Fire Blade felt like backing up further. He didn't want to suffer anymore. Yet if he did, he would grind his back into the wall. He was scared. Especially when it felt like some other-worldly feeling came on him that he was being watched for a few moments.

 

Staring daggers at Fire Blade. Yes.....i hurts doesn't it? I hope it burns like hell. That feeling...its called guilt, regret, remorse. And in taking our husbands lives i hope that feeling never leaves you. And i want you to tell our children, looking them in the eye, what you did and why you did it.

Surge just looked as this went on.

Surge just looked as this went on.

 

"To be honest-"

But he couldn't continue. He was scared, felt bad, and needed redemption. His scars began to hurt again, and he felt alone. He needed help, and he hoped that the priestess could help if he was still alive when their paths crossed.

"I- I- I think I can do that."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir blinked slowly. Her lips were moving, but it was like she wasn't saying anything. The world was moving slowly. And then it was like everything suddenly sped up on him, and he healdhis head asa wave of vertigo hit him. He leaned against the wall as the sounds caught up to him, and he realized what she said. "Wha- My cutie mark has-" he looked at his flank, "Oh." He blushed, "This... is a long story."

 

Aelicine found herself in the company of high ranking officials almost as suddenly as she found herself intruded upon by the cororal. She saluted, lacking another form of respect, "Aelicine Moonstalker, warrior-priestess, reporting for duty as requested ma'am," she said, blinking.

[The Razor Wing 879]

One of them raises her hoof to him. Then do it or ill beat you myself. And tell them everything.

Ladies take it easy on him. fire Blade get to talking.

 

Fatigue was getting his troops ready. Ok stealth force i want you in the woods. Armed forces on the front lines. Knights i want you to protect the village. Task force be ready for anything. And the rest of you be the first line of defense ahead of the troops at the caves.

"But we have time, right, Velnir? Will you please tell me?"

---

"Oh, that Aelicine. Heard of her. Now I just need to see if she's as good as they say she is. Priestess! Tell me, are there any prisoners from any of our two kingdoms in the Earth Pony jails?"

 

One of them raises her hoof to him. Then do it or ill beat you myself. And tell them everything.

Ladies take it easy on him. fire Blade get to talking.

Fire Blade got up slowly and went over to the area by where the children were. He looked behind him at the mares, then faced the children again.

"Um... Ok, so... I- I have a confession to make. I-"

He hesitated, then continued, whispering.

"I killed your fathers."

He hung his head, awaiting some kind of attack upon himself.

She realized the pony had been sent by Vinyl, and took it in stride. She sheathed the letting daggar, packed her bags, then nodded to the corporal, "Alright then, take me to her."

 

"Yes, ma'am." The corporal teleported them back to the pegasus kingdom.

 

"Who is Aelicine, Vinyl? And why do you need her here?"

 

"She's a priestess and don't worry about the details." The courier and Aelicine appeared in front of her. The corporal saluted Vinyl once more and she returned the salute. "Good work, corporal. Now fall back in."

"Yes, ma'am." The pony did as he was ordered and Vinyl turned to the priestess. "One second, please." She started addressing her troops. "Fall out and go to the barracks!"

A collective "Yes, ma'am" could be heard throughout the surrounding city.

She turned back to Aelicine. "I would like for you to set up a place of worship and... I would like to join in your worship."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir sighed, and began to tell her about the tale, sparing the more personal details, such as his own personal feelings. He didn't want to make her sad, especially since she seemed very beautiful tonight.

 

"Only one," said Aelicine. "You must be Comander Greylight. A pleasure ma'am." Syline says your a bit demanding, and that you love the Earth pony leader... Wait, Vinyl wants what? "... Excuse me? Umm, yes, uhh... You put me in an awkward position here Vinyl. As high priestess, I head the religion. I lead the clergy. But I'm still subservient to you. If you join, it would be like... like... we're equals... Are you sure that's what you want?"

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl nodded in acknowledgement. "We would not be exact equals, but yes, I want you to do this. I would not have asked you if I wasn't sure. This may even become the official religion of our empire one day. Just tell me what you need and it will be done."

 

((Charlemagne reference?))

[The Razor Wing 879]

Fire Blade got up slowly and went over to the area by where the children were. He looked behind him at the mares, then faced the children again.

"Um... Ok, so... I- I have a confession to make. I-"

He hesitated, then continued, whispering.

"I killed your fathers."

He hung his head, awaiting some kind of attack upon himself.

 

Tell them everything. The whole story.

Go on Fire Blade. Tell them everything you told me. Or do i have to use my methods?

 

Windscar flies over the EPK to and gets a good look at everything. She sees the ponies entering the caves. Fatigue and his men setting up all over the kingdom. And still nothing at either boarder. Maybe that scout was just bluffing. I still dont see anything.

 

Fatigue then took a small group of his best troops with him. They made their way to town square. I hope you boys are ready for a blood bath.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

Trembling just like on her scouting mission, Star Rain walked with the army to the barracks. She couldn't tell if she was feeling excitement,anger,sympathy, or a little bit of all three. She had her sword stored away in the same manner as her spell book, so she can summon her sword or send it back at any time. When the battle starts, she will make sure she doesn't kill any pony.

Fire Blade sighed sadly and sat down, head hanging. He told them the story, how he was on a scouting mission and how he killed them because he suspected a trap.

 

Vinyl nodded in acknowledgement. "We would not be exact equals, but yes, I want you to do this. I would not have asked you if I wasn't sure. This may even become the official religion of our empire one day. Just tell me what you need and it will be done."

 

((Charlemagne reference?))

 

"Mares, please. Hurry up and get ready. We need to get out there and take over the Earth Pony Kingdom and rescue the prisoners."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Aelicine nodded, and began setting up a circle. "I'm not really sure where you want me to set up, but we can do this bit right now," she said as she completed.

 

Velnir hugged her when he finished, saying, "Maple likes you, which is good. It means she'll shelter you, if you need help."

[The Razor Wing 879]

Fire Blade sighed sadly and sat down, head hanging. He told them the story, how he was on a scouting mission and how he killed them because he suspected a trap.

 

The wives looked at him trying to hold their tears back. The children looked at Fire Blade with tears streaming down their faces. They just look at him in fear but with anger. Why? Why would you do that? My daddy was a nice pony. He would never do such a thing. You killed our daddies because of a feeling? You didn't even try to ask what they were doing. The two run in the cell and start to hit Fire Blade. Their little tear filled hits were ineffective. You mean mean pony! You took my daddy away from me! You killed him for no reason you bastard! The mothers grab their foals. Now now children. Everything will be ok. Yes, he'll pay for his sins in due time. Looking at Fire Blade. I hope your proud of what you've done here. You took something from them that can never be replaced.The love of a father. And you have robed us as well. You took the provider out of our homes. And not just that. But our husbands as well. As they walk out the cell. I hope you never fined peace for what you've done. As the mares walk out the teen still looked at Fire Blade. He then slowly walks in the cell and stares Fire Blade in the eye. Just looking right through him. He then punches Fire Blade in the face knocking him to the ground. As he stands over him. I hope you die in this prison. And i hope Surge and Fatigue make you suffer for what you've done. And even if you find a way to get out, i hope you die in this war. A painful slow death. And even if you find some way to live through all of this, ill find you. I will come and kill you myself. In front of whatever family you have! And as you die.....ill kill them as well. So maybe....just maybe you'll feel my pain before you die. Surge puts his hoof on his shoulder. That's enough young man. That's enough. One tear fell from his eye as Surge takes him out of the cell. Looking up at Surge. I want to fight. I want to make those unicorn bastards pay for what they have done. No. You are needed else where now. Pointing at the families. They need you more than ever now. You must be strong for them. And protect them. But....*sigh* Yes sir....I understand. Now take them to the caves, and protect them with your life. It is what your fathers would have done. Now go make them proud. He nods his head and walks the families out the door. Surge then goes back to Fire Blade. So.....Have you had enough?. Edited November 13, 2012 by Razorwing

Fire Blade was shaken, shaking, and near tears. One could tell that his mental state was quickly deteriorating. He began to think he wasn't worthy enough to even meet that priestess. The fall had slightly opened his wounds, and he knew the scars would last forever. And not just the scars on his physical self, but the scars on his mental self. The blood from his nose ran a bit faster when the first tears mixed with it.

"Y-y-yes... just get- get me out of here... I- I- I can't take it anymore..."

His death was the only thing he could think of. The mares were right...

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Aelicine felt a sharp pain in her gut as she completed the circle, and felt as if she was wrenched from her body. To Vinyl and the onlookers at her body, strange, white-blue markings scrawled glowing, and her eyes closed. She found herself in a prison cell, looking slightly see-through. She looked around, and saw a unicorn, "Faith, Fire Blade, Syline sees your plight," she whispers in his ear, and feels herself tugged back into her body.

(I hate you phone, you say you have an error and then you post a ton of duplicates >.<)

The mare somehow looked familiar, yet it almost scared him to see her. Before he could reply, however, she was gone. Who was she? It was obvious she had some kind of connection with this... this... this Syline... Where had he heard of Syline before? Wasn't she the moon goddess? Then wouldn't the mare be- His brain snapped. He needed to get out and find her, the priestess. He knew now she could and would help him.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Surge sees a change in Fire Blade. Now you know i cant just let you out. That would make me look bad. But i wont torturer you anymore. You have had enough for today. But i will say this. Im going to teach you the ways of the Earth. I might as well have some fun with you while your here. And if i can make peace with you like i did Sapphire and Windscar maybe, just maybe i can bring peace to our breads.

"That's good."

She pressed her head into Velnir, sighing.

"So you ever think I'll need her help?"

She sounded simply curious.

"Fun... Right... Well... Ok. I'll see what we can do."

He sighed and leaned back on his bed, still shaking from his encounter with the now fatherless families.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Aelicine nodded, and began setting up a circle. "I'm not really sure where you want me to set up, but we can do this bit right now," she said as she completed.

 

It got late and the full moon was out. Vinyl looked up at the stars and the moon and reveled in their beauty. "There probably couldn't be a better night to do this. I am ready to start when you are, Aelicine."

 

((Sorry again for taking a while to post. I got distracted yesterday))

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He drew back out of the hug, stating, "Everypony needs help. I just worry about you much more. Your strength, It makes you stand out. And I'm not talking about your muscles," he taps her chest, "I'm talking about your heart. I love you Shelby. Thank you for returning my love." Before she can answer, he kisses her passionately.

 

Aelicine nodded, and slashed herself. The moonlight intensified and she laughed. A mare made of moonlight appeared, smiling, and Alli bowed to her. The moonlit mare turned to Vinyl, "Vinyl Blade," she smiled at her, "Do you agree to uphold me as you religious leader, acknowledge my power, and to rule with wisdom and digression, fairly, and to acknowledge my knowledge?" Aelicine's eyes widened; this clearly was not the normal initiation.

Edited November 14, 2012 by Dawnpath

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl gave no mind to the blood. She humbly nodded and got down on her knees. "Yes, my goddess, I do. Please guide me to do your will." She looked up at the goddess of the moon. Vinyl didn't know what to do next, so she simply lied there, waiting for a response from the mare.

"Mm!"

She didn't know how to react. But she liked the kiss. When they broke, she looked at him.

"So... What next?"

 

Greylight was surprised by the new mare. She didn't doubt Aelicine anymore. No matter how "fake" she seemed as a priestess, she was a real priestess. She began to question her own beliefs.
